Leather Industry Promotes Circular Economy Development

Building beautiful China is a systematic project which requires participation from various industries. Leatherwear The industry is promising in this process. The leather industry itself is a sector that meets the requirements of circular economy. It turns the discarded animal skins into bright and bright leather, and finally produces all kinds of fashionable and exquisite leather products. This process not only avoids the waste of raw skins and the environmental pollution caused by decay, but also makes full use of raw skins.

　　 Leather industry Itself is in line with the circular economy, but because of leather pollution, in order to ensure the sustainable development of the industry, leather industry has been in recent years, energy conservation and emission reduction as one of the main lines of work. From the actual situation, the industry's pollution control has made great progress. According to statistics, the tannery industry's sewage volume in China is about 120 million tons / year, accounting for about 0.5% of the total industrial sewage volume. The pollution control technology is mature, and the cost of treatment is within the range of affordability. The average cost per square foot of leather management is about 0.1~0.3 yuan.

At the same time, the industry is paying more and more attention to clean production technology of tanning, among which recycling of waste chrome liquor, recycling of hair ashes, utilization of solid waste and reuse of recycled water have been promoted in the industry.

Besides, Eco leather As an important hand in standardizing the tannery industry and improving the quality of ecological environmental protection, the level of leather is also steadily increasing. According to the annual statistics of ecological leather, in 2011, the eco leather enterprises achieved remarkable results in energy conservation and emission reduction. Under the same level of output, the amount of wastewater discharge decreased by 3.7%, ammonia nitrogen emissions reduced by 9.6%, and COD emissions decreased by 7%.

Therefore, it can be said that the leather industry is no longer the era of pollution in the past for more beautiful, more and more. Tanning enterprise The tanning process fully accords with the concept and requirements of developing circular economy.
